The article says: "nuclear power produces very little waste"
Is that true? Does it take into account all the nuclear waste that takes millions of years to fade out?
Wouldn't it be fair to calculate "waste produced" as "amount x (duration to be fully recycled)"?
Example calculation based on my amateurish guestimates give us then: residual waste takes maybe 500 years until it's organic earth for planting again. Nuclear waste takes 5 million years, so does a nuclear plant really produce 500 years / 5.000.000 years = 1/50.000th of waste than comparable powerplants?
